"If I understand what you are saying, FEMA should have positioned all their assets in NO and have a Catagory 5 huricane destroy them. "


How is anyone justifying denying food and water for 5 days while all the Hollywood icons got thru for their photo ops.

Yeah - that's a plank I want at the 2008 convention!
What's the matter with some of you? Don't you see that blocking aid for 5 days is not justifiable? Don't you see its political KoolAid?

I waited 40 years to see Repubs in power and don't think we can't lose it in a heartbeat.

Back away from the Koolaid with your hands at your side. We think the media has spiked it with brain cell killing substances.

About 26,000 New Orleans residents sought refuge from Hurricane Katrina at the Superdome, which authorities describe as the "shelter of last resort," Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu said late Sunday. To help keep them fed and hydrated, the Louisiana National Guard delivered three truckloads of water and seven truckloads of MREs — short for "meals ready to eat." That's enough to supply 15,000 people for three days, according to Col. Jay Mayeaux, deputy director of the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Emergency Preparedness. Outside the New Orleans area, the Louisiana Red Cross has opened 45 emergency shelters that were serving about 3,000 evacuees as of late Sunday, said Victor Howell, who heads the Red Cross of the Louisiana Capital Area.

Sure, they also came in with 500 trucks of ice and 500 trucks of water and 350 trucks with food plus hollywood's "girly-men" came in with their command centers and an Armando of helicopters, right? Like what they do in their play movies!??!

Okay, one more post. You're not just an adolescent. You're a liar. FEMA pre-positioned food. FEMA did not block aid.
